Printed: K 821; Hunt, Bath Carts., p. 35; Harmer, Writs, no. 6 (pp. 134-5), with translation.
Comments: Harmer, Writs, pp. 133-4, 429-31, authentic; Finberg, ECW, no. 536, authentic; Keynes 1988, p. 213 n. 70, wording of writ perhaps partly dependent on S 1034, which was the original grant of Ashwick to Wulfwold; Keynes 1997, pp. 232, 256, probably formulated at Bath, perhaps influenced by S 1034.
